Angry Birds looks bad on my Xoom - Xoom Themes and Apps

Both the regular version and Seasons. It starts to look blurry and a little choppy…kind of like there is a problem with the screen refresh rate. Not 100%, bit I think it happens when the ad pops up. Sort of strange because Dungeon Defenders, Maps, YouTube...all play sharp and clear.
(Weird too, because Birds never looked bad on the gTablet.)
Anybody else having this?

Looks good on mine.

Looks great on my xoom. It has already been optimized for xoom. That's the 1st game people play when they take my xoom for a ride

I noticed the same thing. After 10 minutes or so of playing it gets choppy. Now sure if its the ads as I use adblock and dont see any.

I have been playing Angry Birds Rio and it looks great on the XOOM. Got it for free from Amazon.com

I agree. Rio looks really good on the zoom. Seems they upped the graphics because it does look better then the previous versions.

I would have to agree as well. But the other angry birds look pretty good on my Xoom and I don't really notice any choppiness.

mine looks good also. is there a way to get rio working without the amazon app?

I went ahead and laid down 99 cents for both the original and seasons versions of Birds on the Amazon app store. Both look better now that they aren't trying to cohabitate with the ads. Was worth the money, although the paid versions still take you to the Rovio news page when you pause the game or access it's menu, and that's even more annoying than the ads were.
+1 on Rio looking awesome!

Angry Birds 1.4.2 Update

Well Rovio has released a new version of Angry Birds. Apparently according to their email they've sent out they've fixed the white landscapes for QVGA devices, which includes mytouch 3g 1.2. However I still experience the white landscape issue. Does anyone still have this issue or are they getting the full landscape like Rovio promised?
Magic is HVGA not QVGA.
It is? I swear it was QVGA. I guess that might be why it hasn't been fixed.
Edit: so I decided to download angry birds off the market and it works fine just lags.

isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? how can it work fine and yet lag? I think we should give up on angry birds or demanding games on the magic. It's past its prime (and programmers cannot be bothered optimising stuff, evidently).
When I meant fine I meant the landscape graphics were showing up now. I should have chosen better words. Lol
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Yep lag is the only problem, im OC to 652 and still. But there all the colors and 45 new lvls...big bird rules
This update just killed the game for me... Ok, we got the landscapes but it's too dawn slow to be enjoyable now
Hopefully I have an HTC Desire coming to me in the following weeks, this will 'solve' the lag issue
Yeah Angry Birds ran fine on my MyTouch 1.2 except for the landscape issue. now the landscape issue is fixed, but it runs so laggy that it is unplayable. I would rather deal with the landscape issue and be able to play it then see it in all its glory and not be able to play it.
I think they should have an option to change graphics for lower end devices or something.

Dungeon Defender

I justed install Dungeon Defender and all I can say is WOW!
There is NO OTHER game that shows off the power of this unit..
I am telling you this game kicks ass in graphics, performance and usability (for a tablet).
I highly recommend if you want to have a showcase application that shows off the power of the Tegra 2 PLUS a high resolution screen this is it!
I honestly was shocked how smooth the game looked, how high the textures were...
Anyway... wanted to share my impression for anyone looking for a showcase game or someone who was thinking of purchasing it for their G-Tab.
Yup, I was really impressed with that one. I also thought Dungeon Hunter was also excellent and ran very well on my G Tablet.
Minigore also looks great and runs very well.
I wasnt too impressed with Dungeon Hunter...seemed very dark and low textures were used - plus of course the main menu is all cut off...
I will have to try out Minigore...

Your menu is cut off in Dungeon Hunter? Mine shows up fine. Maybe you got an incorrect version for our tablets.
The textures weren't very good, but I thought the gameplay and overall graphics were otherwise pretty good for a mobile game.
Oops, just read that Mini Gore is from DavinciDevelopers, who stole the game Iron Soldiers. Maybe shouldn't recommend this game after all, especially for $3. My buddy sent me a copy of the APK so I hadn't read the user comments on the market for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849404
I bought Dungeon Defenders last night for $2.99. Best lunch money I spent in a long time. Runs full screen no problems on my G-tab VegaNtab 5.1. It is really a fun game well worth the money. You pick a character and defend your crystal by setting up all sorts of barricades & booby traps ( data voice "thats what I said booby trap" ) Overall graphics were top notch you can adjust the graphic quality within the options.
I should also point out I bought "Dungeon Defenders: First Wave" Uses Unreal Engine

Ahh well I've paid 60 bucks for utter piles of poo, so 2.99 is still a darn good deal for a good game.
This game looks pretty cool but it seems to be only multilayer. Is there a game like this that lets you play against AI characters? I like playing games at my own pace since I consider myself a very casual gamer.
I've tried Dungeon Hunter on this tablet but it doesn't paint the levels well and the lighting effects are way off.

I don't know about using a Wii controler but I have one of these I've used for other games on my gTab and will likely use it on this game.
The only thing about this joystick is that the suction sometimes releases and you'll have to be careful so that the ball on the joystick doesn't smack your screen (I was worried the first time it did this as I thought it may crack the screen).
I've seen some other joysticks like this that is low profile and cheaper AFTER I bought this one.
Anyway, it is a solution.

I'm gonna buy it today so I can play some Conkers Bad Fur Day. I'll let you know!
I got it, will test it during lunch, I tried running it on my Droid 1, choppy but playable. Lets hope it flys on the Gtab when I get home.
Hey thanks six. I've been following it in the market looks like they fixed a few of the sound problems and other things....I might just jump on it too, this weekend. But ill wait for u haha.
Can you please let me know if it supports any other input methods,like wii mote. I would think it would be a ***** to play with the on screen keyboard.
The program is great!!!
The only issue I have is that the framerate is way to fast (didn't expect that), so the game play (at least for mario 64) is like mario on crack. I hope I can figure out a way to slow the framerate.
It does support the wiimote!

Sorry guys! Yes it's awesome!!! Especially on the G-tab, my 2 yr old and I have been playing Mario 64 and Mario Cart 64 like crazy! Well worth the money! Great in combo with "rom gripper ++"! It does run a bit fast on some games, but I am very pleased with this considering I bought all the *oid emulation apps for me and the kids, well mainly me. The on screen controller took a bit getting used to but wasn't so bad after a while. Yep wii remote will work.
any idea if a xbox wired controller works???

I doubt that would work. But the wiimote works. Too bad two player games can't be played on one screen, at least not that I know of.
I can't find it. . . I search n64oid and it doesn't come up. . .
Super Mario 64 ,Mario mart, and pokemon stadium 2 no issues.
Starfox sound goes away during gameplay but the game plays great besides that.
Pokemon stadium intro plays but that's it. Excite bike 64 is a no go. That's all I tested.
Not bad for an early release.
Hell yes! Was actually trolling online recently for an n64. Mine got stollen my Meth heads a few years back and I miss it and my perfect collection of classics. If I can play Tetrisphere and conkers bad fur day with the wii mote I will be in heaven, and be able to keep a little more cash in my pocket. Those systems can be expensive now. Apparently all the stoners up here in the Northwest have a death grip on their n64s and wont give them up for cheap.

I still have my n64 somewhere in a box. I never did get rid of it and I wouldn't either. Maybe those stoners aren't that stoned after all.
I have been using an N64 emu on PC & laptop for quite a few years now and have at least "a few" roms. Result is I have roms that are verified to work.
Seems not many games work well with this emu yet, but some that do:
Super Mario
Bust a Move 99 / 3DX, 2
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart
That is about it so far that I tested. All others tried either play slower, strobe off and on or backgrounds go black. If you like the games above, the app is good right now.
I have tried several dozen roms so far and the ones above are the best.
BTW, The games play half the speed on Incredible, so even slower.
This seems a beta release and $7 is a bit steep.
Update:
Sadly, the dev is following the same trend as with his PSX emu and each update makes the app WORSE.
Some games that worked do not now and games are a lot slower with the update from today. A lot now crash before even playing. BAD update.
I only wish there was a free version so I could test it out.
Anyone knows if it would run well overclocked at 768 MHz?

Yikes. This is exactly why I'm not so sure about paying $7 on something that might not even run on my Ally. And the 15 minute refund window probably isn't enough time to judge, either.
Works pretty good for me so far, tried Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina, and Goldeneye, all worked at normal speed with good sound. Donkey Kong 64 starts but controls won't work, assuming a bad ROM.
As I type, my Son is playing Mario 64 with the latest update. No issues whats so ever. Thanks for the heads up guys!!!!
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! (well this and full version of firefox) It seems to run great on my gtab, super mario 64 is so fast its funny, on the other hand Golden eye 007 runs at just about the right speed.
Just checked the description. G-sensor as analog. I might try this.

Mario 64 runs fine on my gtab but I can't get golden eye to run lol. Wanna trade??? Jk
The newest version of the app is slower, compared to the previous version, so not sure what version you folks are using. Same trend as with his PSX efforts.
Trust me, in the previous versions performed much better. it seems he got rid of the auto frame-skip and the current frames skip method does a bad job.
You really notice it on the Snapdragon (Incredible). Slower version.
Update:
I see what he has done now with the newest update. He has adjusted compatibility to be better for some games, but the net impact is slower performance. Hope he finds a balance

[Q] Any good games that can actually run on the hero?

Saw a thread way back but it was for the gsm hero I believe, what games do you play on your hero?
Currently tried
Slice it-Very laggy might uninstall
Air Control(lite)- Kinda fun and a good time killer, runs smoothly.
Angry Birds Rio- lags like mad
Going to check out robo defense next
angry birds will lag on heroes
Yup!, just tried and took forever to load.
Game dev story runs fine.

Games Compared To Iphone Games

Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.

Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.
